• Paper: Surface Geochemical Exploration of Oil and Gas: New Life for an Old Technology; The Leading Edge March 2000. It states that numerous published articles show apical geochemical anomalies over oil and gas fields. A review of more than 850 wildcat wells - all drilled after completion of surface geochemical surveys - finds that 79% of wells drilled in positive geochemical anomalies resulted in commercial oil or gas discoveries. In contrast, 87% of wells drilled in the absence of an associated geochemical anomaly resulted in dry holes.
